This is good news for sure. I work at a fulfillment center for an online retailer and we've actually just added quite a few new jobs, most of them temp-to-hire, so it's not just a seasonal bump. We're also opening a new warehouse with hundreds of new jobs there as well.

Unfortunately, Obama did botch the debate so our shrills are back in full force.

that's no counting the under employed, the people who stopped looking, college students, part time workers, people who hate their bosses, children, elderly or the dead. the real unemployment rate is 453%

GAT_00:So unemployment is now lower than when he took office. There go a swarm of GOP talking points.

I completely concur. I'm relieved too. The MSM saying Mittens won the debate because he bullshiated the best was surreal. Romney even quoted the GOP mantra during the first debate: Repeat the lies over and over again until they believe the lies.

Yeah.

+114,000 jobs added doesn't keep up with population growth.
